The offshore energy industry contributes a significant proportion of the world’s marine insurance premium income. It is also one of the more technically demanding areas, requiring of the practitioner a knowledge of both marine and oil business, and of the many policy forms and coverages associated with both industries. No major work in this area has been pro- duced for at least a decade, a period during which considerable develoo-

The author argues that the oil policy should be guided more by wider issues.

Over recent decades offshore oil and gas has developed such that many forget the huge sign&ance of onshore exploration. The world’s biggest fields are all onshore and that is also where the market is. Exploration and development may be more costly in the heavily-populated parts of Europe, North America and the Far East but there are still many places that have high potential, attractive geology, benign tax and development regimes ‘and a ready market.

The work presented in the paper demonstrates the existance of statistically identifiable groups of consumers within the population with differentiable gasoline expenditure levels. The existence of these differences in gasoline expenditure levels is demonstrated through examination of urban consum- em in the southern region of the USA and US rural consumers as a proxy for southern regional rural consumers. Current work in the analysis of energy end-use patterns indicates that changes in socioeconomic character- istics can lead to substantial changes in the demand for energy. The groups identified in this work have been linked to a development description of the formation and maturation of the family unit, known as a lifecycle.

The high degree of synergy between the domestrc market (consuming mostly low-grade coal) and the export market (high-grade coal) constitutes a fun- damental factor favouring growth in the SA coal industry. In recent years coal marketing has been totally dere lated and mineral legislation updated in order to eenerate a favourable c rmate within which the coal inductw Y ,.“_,
